Carmel Vanilla Crispies!

Today I was going through the pictures on my phone, deleting some, editing others and I came across the pictures from my trip that I took to North Carolina in July. The reason I went out there was to celebrate my birthday with my family and be present for the birth of my niece, Kori.

One of the things that I love to do with my niece and nephew is bake! We made brownies, as modeled by my niece Alyssa above, but my sister was craving cripy treats. After a trip to the grocery store, we returned with the fixings for some crispies, but with a twist! 

Carmel-Vanilla Crispies:

4 tbsp butter

1 1/2 bags of marshmallows (in this case carmel and vanilla)

6 1/2 cups crispy cereal

This recipe is pretty simple. Have your niece put the butter in a large pot on the stove. Instruct your nephew to add the already opened bag of marshmallows. Melt the marshmallows and butter together over medium-high heat. 

My sister was nice enough to take some photos for me for the blog. (Thanks Erin!)

Once the marshmallow and butter mix is melted, have your nephew add the crispy cereal to the mix.

Combine them together and transfer it into a 9x13 pan. Let them cool for at least 30 minutes and then enjoy! 

I had a great time making these with the kids and they were enjoyed by all! Even had to sneak some into the hospital for my sister after she gave birth. 

I know its not the most complicated recipe or even the most gourmet, it is important that everyone know how to make this. What's more American than crispy treats with a carmel and vanilla twist?

Thanks for checking it out and have a great day!
